[chesterrc]

Description

A ros2 CLI tool to convert bag files to different distributions would be really helpful for collaborating with other users who have different ros2 distributions.

Completion Criteria

Argument in the CLI that would allow the conversion between different ROS2 distributions.

Implementation Notes / Suggestions

I would think that we want example metadata.yaml files of how different ROS2 distributions store their data as some sort of boilerplate.

Do you mean converting rosbag with different file formats? Like converting a SQLite3 formatted bag from older ROS2 distributions to an MCAP formatted bag using the ros2 bag cli ?

Probably No. I think @chesterrc wants to ask if the bag recorded by Rolling can be played by Humble or vice versa. Because I got a similar request recently.

Do you have any suggestions?
